The UNLV Rebels will have a new set of playmakers in their defensive front seven this fall. Many familiar names are gone, and we’re going to get the opportunity to see the players that head coach Tony Sanchez has recruited.
The Rebels were pretty solid against the run last season, fifth in a Mountain West Conference filled with talented running backs. That said, they were last in the country in sacks, and tied for last in the conference in interceptions.
2017 will be a huge year in UNLV Rebels football history. If they’re going to reach bowl eligibility, the defensive line can certainly play no worse than they did last season.
